very slowly, and snowed all morning at the same time, but definitely thawing. would like to think the arena will be usable by the end of the week and we can start a bit of lunging
Another day in the field - when i went to get him in, there was him, Dunovan & Bailey, and I had no idea what Dunovan & Bailey are like to keep away from the gate.
monfy caught no problem at all (but then, this time of year, he would LOL) and the others were easily pushed away from the gate - got monfy through it in jig time though before they came back, unhappy to be still out. but their owner would come soon. and they were very good - guess we've all known horses who are FAR from good in that situation, but these were very good. just as well, as it was somewhat icy and i was concerned about not falling over myself!
then groomed - think he is putting a touch of weight on ... he's very good about it! which is good.
he's such a calm soul, i think, despite having had a very well travelled life - America to France and then to England, and several yards here. I suppose he's learnt to take it all in his stride..
How nice to hear he is easy to handle and seems to have good manners.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, with all that traveling, he certainly is a "man of the world," isn't he?
Here is wishing you a full thaw. Nice change of pace weatherwise, I hope.
America as well! Here we are, two regular people and we both have horses that have flown to and/or from America. Talk about a carbon hoofprint! I have been told that love miles don't count, so Tetley and I are certainly not guilty.
ReplyDeleteJust catching up on Monfy news and it's all sounding good, hope your thaw continues and you can start work.
